Endometrial Receptivity Array

Who Should Consider ERA?

ERA is not obligatory but strongly advised where it applies, and that is the case with certain patients:

• Women with recurrent IVF/ICSI failure in spite of good quality embryos.
• The couples with unexplained infertility.
• Women with a thin uterine lining or abnormal cycles.
• Patients, in whom the conventional embryo transfer timing has failed

With the help of ERA, a crossover implantation of fertility delivers a promising future to couples who have seen repeated failure with other methods of IVF.

How is ERA Performed?

The ERA test is a non-invasive procedure with minimal invasiveness and is conducted in a fertility clinic. At Mannat Fertility, we follow:

1. Endometrial Preparation
   • The endometrium is conditioned with hormonal drugs in preparation for a frozen embryo transfer cycle.
2. Endometrial Biopsy
   • A sample of the uterus lining is taken with a thin catheter.
   • The surgery is fast and generally only mildly painful.
3. Genetic Analysis
   • The biopsy specimen is submitted to a specialised laboratory.
   • Using molecular technology, more than 200 genes associated with endometrial receptivity are analysed.
4. Personalised Report
   • The report shows whether the endometrium is Receptive or Non-Receptive at the time of sampling.
   • In case non-receptive, pET is advised at the precise receptive window that was identified.

Benefits of the ERA Test

The ERA test has the following benefits during treatment by IVF:

• Individualised embryo transfer according to your individual biology.
• Increases implantation in women having repeated failures of IVF.
• It eliminates repetitive cycles that are not necessary by setting a higher accuracy in timing
• Offers useful information about endometrial health

Studies demonstrate that in couples with recurrent implantation failure, ERA may increase success rates, and it will be useful in these cases.

When is ERA Done?

ERA is usually done in the course of a simulation cycle, prior to transfer of the actual embryo. This enables fertility specialists to get accurate data with regard to the implantation window without interfering with your current embryos.

Upon the release of results, the actual transfer process is scheduled towards your personalised timing to ensure maximum chance of success.
